After yesterday's dog minding our friends took us to Ainga, beside the Ruakākā Tavern, for Japanese Western Fusion food. Ruakaka Tavern and Ainga.

Red umbrellas screen overhead lights, tables, chairs and brick-style walls.

I ordered

Roasted plum Duck
Roast duck in plum sauce, bok choy, shitake mushroom, cinnamon, cashew nuts

which was delicious, though I suspect I anticipate enjoying duck more than I actually do enjoy it.

The others all enjoyed their meals too.

A plate of vegetables and meat in a sauce.
